Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ar Rass Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ar Rass Airbnb took in SAR 13,198 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about SAR 31,730, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about SAR 1,980 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Ar Rass's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ar Rass listings are booked on 31% or more of their nights, against 15% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of SAR 325 adds about SAR 3,270 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge SAR 425 a night or more, against a median of SAR 325. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about SAR 1,310 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about SAR 4,720, against SAR 706 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ar Rass listings average 4.91 stars, and 32% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about SAR 2,640 a month, against SAR 1,100 for the average one.
